why do they make kilts?

[macwilkin]

For most people, the kilt is still a special-event garment -- a costume. Tartan kilts for weddings and funerals, Utilikilts for Burning Man and Rennaisance Faires. Only a few of us have the interest or courage to wear them outside of "acceptable" venues.

I'm not sure I like this accusation, that somehow I am a "coward" for only wearing my kilt for special events, such as weddings (like my own), Scottish functions, etc. Where and when I wear my kilt is my business; I do not judge others on when and where they wear theirs either.

If wearing the kilt is truly about "freedom", as we hear so much around here, then that "freedom" should have no limitations -- including those who do not wear their kilts on a regular basis. Many cannot due to work. Others choose not to for their own personal reasons -- but why is their not wearing a kilt outside "acceptable" venues the sole determination of their "courage" to wear a kilt?
